PREDECESSORS AND SHORT HISTORY:
Originally
it was the Kingdom of Upper Sindh, with an area of over 50,000 km2.
Khairpur State was founded in 1783, with the capital developed in 1786.
It's status was reduced to that of a Princely State in 1838, when the
British
took over the foreign affairs. The gun salute was reduced from 19 to 17
and then to 15, as the area of the state diminished to 15,670 km2.
Khairpur closed its mint and currency in 1903 and gave legal tender to

economic
market of the empire. The state was forcefully merged with Pakistan in
